Will we finally see the SmackDown LIVE debut of … Curt Hawkins?

Face the facts: After stepping into the ring for the first time at No Mercy, Curt Hawkins looks to make his SmackDown LIVE debut against Apollo Crews.

It was finally the moment: Two weeks ago, Curt Hawkins was scheduled to compete on SmackDown LIVE for the very first time. Would he change the very fabric of sports-entertainment? Well … we still don’t know. That’s because after his opponent Apollo Crews grew tired of the outspoken competitor running his mouth and opted to take him down before the bell, Hawkins accused him of ruining his debut and stormed off.

Will tonight’s SmackDown LIVE finally be the night for Hawkins? And, if it is, will Crews be his opponent? Find out tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network, with expert analysis beginning at 7:30 ET/6:30 C on the SmackDown LIVE Pre-Show, available across all digital platforms.
